That makes me happy because I want it. It makes me sad because I wish THQ were getting more money.
EDIT: FInished mirror's edge too, steam says in 4 hours, and I can't help but wonder... I'm really bad at this game, and had to di some things again too many times, how long would it be for someone who actually did it well? and how did those kind of blockes feel when paying full price?

4 hours seems right, the speed runs are something else though. I know i had more fun in my brief time with Mirror's Edge than i had in the whole time I was with some longer manshoots.

Hell, you can always replay it, or do time trials ^_^
About paying full price? I wouldn't know, i don't do that anymore.

I'm dumb as all hell, I've just started my first game of Medieval II and noticed a distinct lack of options, I checked it and turns out I didn't have Kingdoms. That means that when I got it on the summer sale I forgot to check if I was getting the normal version or the equally priced complete version...

What? How did you manage that? My recent first playthrough took me about 7 hours and I don't remember dying much or getting stuck for more than a few moments.

I'm not really getting how the points work yet, I get to send out a bunch of my first units, then when I unlocked my knights I can't send them out for some reason. I'm not sure what I need for sending them out.

Just got installed Severance:Blade of Darkness,fully patched and "modified" so it runs well on win7,also menu/background bug is fixed! Now i only need to find some time to start my playthrough as BARBARIAN :p

I've been mostly stuck in a loop of God Games recently. Started with SimCity 3000, before moving on to SC4. Galactic Civilizations 2 had been making a comeback, before I bought Civ V in a recent Steam sale which then ended up taking most of my free time.

I've just installed Dawnguard, and have created a new character and re-set all my Skyrim config and mods back to vanilla (except for the Unofficial Skyrim patch - nice to see the guys behind the superb Oblivion version are doing the same for TESV).

I was going to post in the forums here asking RPS what their current favourite mods are, but there seems to be some form of (understandable) anti-spam thing in place stopping new members creating new threads. I've been an RPS subscriber and general lurker for years, just never got round to registering for the forums...

Oh well, guess I'll have to poke the RPS hive mind at a later date. Back to Tamriel for me...

I don't trust Steam's "played" times. Pretty sure they occasionally underreport for some reason. That could have happened in this case; 4 hours is quite fast.

What's that based on? The graphics issues? Considering the amount complaining about it (and it's understandable, obviously) I'd say it's done rather well on there, actually. In top 10 on Steam, so it can't be doing too badly. Not to mention, two other platforms it's on. I imagine it's doing quite well for itself.

The best speeds runs, that I'm aware of, can clear the entire game in just shy of 35 minutes. Last time I checked. Admittedly, that was a year ago. It could be lower. As for the "blokes paying full price", well, there's a couple of ways of looking at it. In terms of game-play, absolutely no other games does what it does. It's a fresh (still is) experience that, whilst perhaps flawed, is exciting and involving. On the other hand, the game is unquestionably built for replayability. You say you did it in 4 hours? Okay, play it again, but do it in 3. Do the time trials etc. There's a lot more to the game than just completing the story once.

Yeah Steams time tracker is well known for being somewhat suspect. I believe it has something to do with when you use the overlay and it effectively stops recording game time.

Yeah, it does seem a bit off. For some reason, when I play CK2 through the install directory, rather than through the Steam client, Steam doesn't seem to register my play time. However, when I play Botanicula, which I've installed outside of Steam but still have in my library (not marked as installed there), Steam registers my play time. It's wonky to say the least.

Still cant get my hands off Red Orchestra 2. Currently at level 83 and most of the time now I am playing as a mg gunner. The new patch has been good. Commissars House seems playable again from the russian side. Cant wait for Rising Storm to be released!

Completed Offspring Fling. Funny game but I am not motivated enough to play through all of the levels again and beating the necessary times to unlock the bonus levels.

Started playing Bastion. Almost 3 hours in and I already can understand all the praise it got. Music, graphics, the narrator - you just want to keep on playing.
